You can claim refund under noti. 17/2009 by giving disclaimer under noti.18/2009. Cenvat credit may be challenged by department holding that it is allowed only up to place of removal. Althoug you can argue that your price is FOB abd hence your place of removal is port, it may lead to litigations.

MANUFACTURER RECEIVES THE GOOD IS HIS INPUT <> SO HE CAN GET CENVAT CREDIT
WHEN EXPORTING, THE DESTINATION IS PORT <> HERE HE WILL GET THE BENIFIT OF 18/2009
AFTER DATED 07/07/2009 REFUND FOR EXPORTER FOR GTA SERVICE IS TRANSFERED TO 18/2009
